In-Command

In-Command System Graphic

TSE’s innovative In-Command system is a radio-operated system that sets the role of tensioner and puller automatically via remote transmission. The wireless communication network is controlled by a single skilled operator at the Puller to conduct the tension stringing process with an observer who can perform basic functions at the Tensioner.

    S660E Electric Rodder


    TSE International’s OK Champion Model S660E is an electrically driven continuous power rodder designed for heavy-duty rodding of telephone and power conduit, sanitary and storm sewer lines.

    TSE Introduces the Electric Power Rodder S660E

    The First Battery Electric Powered Rodder

    February 2022 – TSE International is an industry leader known for designing and manufacturing superior quality cable pulling and tensioning equipment for the utility industry.  OK Champion Power Rodders for the sewer, electric, and telecommunications industries are expertly manufactured by TSE.  TSE’s proven engineering expertise as the innovator in electric driven utility equipment has led to the development of the first electric Sewer/Duct Rodder.

    TSE began manufacturing the OK Champion S660E Battery Electric driven Power Rodder.  The quiet, emission-free power means the S660E can be used in peaceful neighborhoods without disturbing the residents or the busiest of streets without adding to the noise and pollution.

    In addition, operators can safely work and communicate without shouting over the roar of a diesel engine or smelling the fumes. 

    The proven S660 Drive Head provides reliable performance and productivity equal to the OK Champion hydraulic driven units that have been the standard in the industry for over 50 years. The S660E ups the ante with state-of-the-art electronic controls which improve operator comfort and provide advanced diagnostics.  TSE has proven this technology with our Green Machines® which are revolutionizing the utility industry.

    Performance Features

    TSE International’s OK Champion Model S660E is an electrically driven continuous power rodder designed for heavy-duty rodding of telephone and power conduit, sanitary and storm sewer lines.

    Capitalizing on the proven design of the S660 drive head, the rodder is driven by battery powered electric motors. Noise and emissions are non-existent and maintenance expenditures are significantly reduced as the rodder no longer requires an engine or PTO to drive it.

    The rodder is capable of pushing continuous rod up to 1000’ without spinning and in extreme circumstances where plugging or misalignment of the duct or sewer has occurred, the rod can be rotated to a maximum distance of 1500’. Operator controls include forward and reverse action, clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, lateral movement and braking action with a LCD screen to display critical functions.

    STANDARD FEATURES:

    Self-contained battery driven power source
    OK Champion S660 Drive Head Skid mounted for customer installation
    • Eight hour battery capacity

    DRIVE SYSTEM:

    Direct rod head drive with no chains or other mechanical power transmission devices Electric/hydraulic drive head with variable speed 35 hp electric motor

    Rod drive head includes three pairs of drive rollers directly driven through pinion gears of two hydraulic motors with three other drive rolls mounted on stationary shafts and three opposing drive rollers mounted on adjustable shafts for wear compensation

    Clamping force on the rod through the drive rolls is applied hydraulically with pressure proportional to the pulling or pushing force to eliminate excess wear in light rodding conditions, allowing maximum torque during heavy load conditions

    Drive rolls rotate on radial thrust bearings and can be replaced without removing the drive head

    Two speed drive motors are plumbed directly from a hydraulic swivel barrel with stainless steel tube type fittings and without the use of black pipe or flexible hoses

    SPECIFICATIONS

    Rotation Speed: 0 to 175 rpm
    Rod Pulling Force: 3,500 lbs @ 200 fpm
    8,000 lbs @ 100 fpm
    Capacity for 2,200’ of .375” diameter rod (.393” and .461” rod available upon request)

    BATTERY SYSTEM:

    96 Volt - 200Ah battery with controller
    Eight hour battery capacity with intermittent use 200Ah Capacity – 19.2 kWh energy
    350 Amp continuous – 33.6 kW continuous

    CONTROLS:

    All controls and instruments are located in a single control panel at the rear passenger side of the skid.

    Controls and instrumentation include:
    HMI screen replaces gauges
    Single unitized control handle for controlling rod movement
    Battery meter
    Rod drive and rotation force readout
    Force controls: lateral rod and rotation rod control
    Rod footage readout, self-canceling and accumulative
    Automatic rodding mode - lockout available
    E-stop
